Hey! Apparently the new season of some Star Wars TV show starts up on Friday. Have you heard? (Ha.)
Yes, The Clone Wars returns with ‘Clone Cadets’ and ‘Arc Troopers.’ Also back is the webcomic, which relaunches for the new season with ‘The Valsedian Operation’ from Tom Hodges and Pablo Hidalgo.
The clip above is courtesy Big Shiny Robot, who had several folks in San Francisco attending the red carpet premiere… And discovering some possible censorship on the part of Cartoon Network. In less controversial news, Ashley Eckstein revealed that Imperial logo earrings and Yoda pajamas are on the way from Her Universe. (What’s been getting the biggest ink is Seth Green and Matt Senreich, but been there done that.)
Check out a critical mass of red carpet photos on the StarWars.com Flickr.
If you have a craving that can’t wait, the official site has some videos featuring Dave Filoni answering your no-doubt burning questions on Leia Troopers, Plo Koon (naturally,) MASH Troopers and the fate of Rumi Paramita. Plus a profile of Anakin. Oh, Matt Lanter, you are so much prettier than that other guy.
I really hope that the web comic returns to it’s season 1 roots. The first season’s version added great backstory to each episode. Last season’s version seemed very disconnected with the show itself and was more like the cancelled Clone Wars comics. My fingers are crossed.
